As one of the largest car dealers in the DFW area, Toyota of Plano is a destination for both new and used car buyers. While we have an impressive selection of new Toyota models to choose from, we also house an equally impressive variety of used vehicles. If you're in the market for a new or used car, you may be wondering which brand will last the longest. Let's take a look at which brand tops the list!
Let’s just say our team wasn't surprised to find that Toyota consistently dominates all surveys for reliability and safety. The Toyota brand has been the top choice for dependability in Consumer Reports' survey for over 20 years, and the Japanese manufacturer has earned the highest score for predicted reliability from J.D. Power's annual survey since 1998. Toyota also has the highest dependability rating in ALG's independent analysis of used-car values, which uses data from more than 1 million vehicles purchased by consumers between 2010 and 2017. In addition to being safe and reliable, Toyotas have a reputation for being long-lasting cars that can keep going after 200k miles or more without needing major repairs or replacements(although they may start costing you money if you don't maintain them properly).
According to an iSeeCars 2022 study, 2.3% of Toyotas on the road are still running with over 200,000 miles. To make this determination, iSeeCars looked at the average mileage per year for each car brand, the percentage of cars sold with over 200,000 miles on the odometer and the percentage of cars sold with over 100,000 miles on the odometer. To put Toyota’s ranking into perspective, the closest car brand was found to only have 1.9% of their current vehicles on the road with over 200,000 miles. This significant difference speaks volumes about the reliability of Toyota’s rigid line up of vehicles.
Toyota is the clear winner in terms of longevity and durability. The brand has been in business for over 100 years, and has earned its reputation for being reliable, safe and durable. This is why so many people are willing to pay more for their vehicles than other brands.
To name a few of the highly rated Toyota vehicles - the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner have won awards from both Motor Trend and IIHS for their safety features. The Sienna is also one of our top-selling minivans because of its large seating capacity and impressive safety systems. The Sienna’s reliability ratings are second only to Toyota's own Camry sedan!
In addition to having a line up of impressively durable vehicles, Toyota offers the best warranty in the industry. Their 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty covers everything from the engine to the transmission. In addition to the powertrain, Toyota also offers a 3 year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5 year/60,000 mile roadside assistance program. If you want a car that's dependable, safe and backed by an outstanding warranty, check out Toyota of Plano's selection of 2023 Toyota models.
When it comes down to it, Toyota is the best brand if you want a dependable car with plenty of safety features and a great warranty.
